JavaScript State Machine

state-machine-map

Abstract

State Machine is a library for managing a finite set of states, and moving between them via actions and transitions.

From its intuitive configuration through its powerful event-based architecture and rich API, State Machine makes it easy to describe and manage interaction with complex state-dependent systems like components, multi-step forms, purchase funnels, visualisations or games.

Features

State Machine has been designed from the outset to feel intuitive and fun to use:

  • Easily-configurable via JavaScript config or instance methods
  • DSL for shorthand transition and handler assignment
  • Add and remove states and actions on the fly
  • Pause, resume, cancel or end transitions at any point
  • Handle system, state, action and transition events
  • Rich API and system introspection
  • Object-oriented architecture, fully-inspectable in DevTools

Installation

State Machine can be used directly in the browser, or in a Browserify, Node or ES6 project.

Note: If you are expecting the package wheeyls/stateMachine it has now been depreciated. To continue to use that package in your project, ensure you use the version 0.3.0 in your package.json.
